March 21, 2016 – Members of the Schuylkill Haven Fire Department met for a regularly scheduled department training at Station 4. Topics covered included firefighter survival self rescue techniques and a RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) evolution known as the Pittsburgh drill.
Those attending were split into 2 groups — the first group practiced bail out techniques from a simulated window prop. The goal of this drill is to teach firefighters to remove themselves from an interior position that is becoming untenable. The second group participated in the Pittsburgh Drill — a RIT drill developed by the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire that teaches teamwork and improves communication skills.
The Liberty Fire Co. would like to thank all of those who participated! Photos from MLK*
